Checking the class survey, it looks like 44 percent of the class doesn't have experience editing video. 

By the end of class Monday, that number will be history.

Some of the essays I liked can be found here:

Thabie

Aaron

Garineh

 

Common comments across many of the class essays:

  • Wordiness (not to be confused with truthiness) abounded.
  • Catchy titles can catch readers but only if they are catchy.
  • The more details, the better the essay.
  • Did your strength match your story?
  • Don't forget grammar still matters. Online, in a blog, up a tree, etc.

Solutions?

Interesting project that asks readers to map their foreclosures, unemployment, bankruptcies, etc.
